For Example, a Successful Engagement…

Presenting Problem: Senior management of a newly merged hospital system was offended by the unpopularity of its decisions and the negativity and resistance to cost-saving downsizing. Management didn’t understand why the “survivors” of the downsizing were not more grateful to have a job and why they were “acting up.”

Intervention: WorkWonders helped engage senior management in exploring the change management process and its role in understanding that the workforce wanted to be heard. Management realized that it had not garnered the input of key individual groups and the “acting out” behaviors were due to the lack of communication and information sharing. Strategies included focus groups, executive summary debriefing, conflict resolution services and formulation of 12 multi-discipline implementation teams.

Results: Management reversed some of its negative decisions, such as mandated uniforms. After three months, management achieved its desired results of increased morale, diminished negative performance and a 70% reduction in resignations.
